San Diego Day 2

Last night we had Greek Cuisine.  I enjoyed the new experience and my meal was very good.

Patty and Bill
This is the Menu.  Gary had the Gyros Plate and I had the Moussaka.  It was similar to lasagna and made with a m ground mixture of lamb and beef.

Up the next morning to eat again at the Broken Yolk.  I had a Mexican Burrito and Gary got experimental and had ham and eggs....

We drove down by the ocean and even the pigeons were pretty.

Nice neighborhoods where the Mitt Romney family have a house.

The ocean is chilly; but the locals put on their wet suits and hit the waves.

(We haven't drove them crazy yet!)
The waves are rushing in this morning.


We are at the entry to the racetrack.

Now we are in the area that a few old movie stars lived.  Jimmy Durante, Lucy and Desi Arnes, and I don't remember...
Del Mar Race Track Entry


Bill told us some more work stories.  He got to secure Queen Elizabeth's yatch when they visited the USA.  He met President Regan.  He was his favorite.

Down to San Diego Port of Entry.


Mormon Tabernacle Towers


I actually got out and walked around this Military Honory Park.  The city is having trouble with atheist trying to take it down.  One more instance of the rights of a few trying to override the rights of the majority.  Why can't they just go to their own memory parks and leave our alone.


Back to the harbor.

The Midway



You've probably see this statue in a few movies.

Padres Baseball Stadium, Homeless Resting

Gaslamp District


Little Italy
This is an old motel that Bill and his family lived in when returning from Missouri.  They lived here until their new home was built.

Fiesta Island.  A public park on a man-made island from the dregs from when they cleaned the bay.

One populated area.  Parking is a premium asset.  Garages are few.  Beautiful place to see.

Days 93 and 94; July 29 & 30 -- Canada to USA

Whee.....what a long three days.....we put a lot of miles on the vehicles and our bodies.  When I last blogged we were at Dave's RV Park in Vanderhoof, BC.  Gary said that this was one of the best kept campgrounds that we had visited.  The bathrooms were spotless and the grounds and flowers matched.  We aimed to go around 200 miles and stop.....somehow that didn't fall into place.  We stopped for lunch at a rest area.  I took this pictures overlooking the valley below from the camper door.  You can see the screen door marks on the picture.  All along this road, we passed original log houses and out buildings.  It made you feel like you were travelling on the very path that the pioneers had taken.  We finally found a campground in the canyon.  Gary got out to take his movie pictures and asked me where we were and what was the name of the campground.  Neither of us knew.  We did have a good dinner.  He grilled t-bone steaks, we had grilled potatoes, salad, and fried bread.  Yu

December 31 2013 -- Happy New Years!

Image
I noticed that the last post was a Merry Christmas post.  Wellllllllll..... Happy New Year! Yesterday, December 30, we headed to Florida.  One more sticker added to the camper map.  Yippee! I held the camera for five miles with the intention of not missing the change of state sign.  I had it aimed at the side of the road and was viewing every sign along the way......about the time I pushed the button for this picture, the Driver (think next year we will promote him to Travel Planner--you know it is one of those things that employers do to delay a raise in pay) hit a BUMP! The next picture is on the way to our new campground.  It is called Whispering Pines in Silver Springs, Florida.   Gary booked this campground using our Passport America.  We get full hookup sites for $14 per night.  He has done a really good job picking out the sites.  Don't you agree he needs a new title.  Travel Planner he will be!  Diesel is a little high $3.82 to $4.07. Today we drove around O

Day 105; August 10 -- Woman's Work?

Image
Today the driver got up and took the truck for its 9:00am appointment.  They flushed and cleaned and changed the oil and then claimed they could not find any problems.  They suggested that we drive it and see if the cleaning and collapsed air filter correct the problem. I did the laundry, changed the sheets on the bed, cleaned out a couple of drawers, and tried to straighten the closet.  It seems to have more "stuff" than it did when we started? Is it a sign that we are ready to head home?  We get excited when we see signs with our family member's name on it? This is the Green Acres RV Park in Redding, CA.  It is what I was expecting California to be like.  It is a "picky" park that is manicured daily with two gentlemen that remind me of Uncle Ray.  (Maybe that it how I imagine California?) You can stay in the park monthly for only $3$0+.  I do think you have to pay for your own electricity. Last night the driver wanted to go for a drive, I wanted to
